On Tuesday, Nov. 7 against the Buffalo Sabres, he added more to the lore of him being that guy when it matters most. Carolina battled all game, saw 3v3 overtime hockey, and once again claimed the second point thanks to Necas as they won 3-2 versus the Sabres. One has to ask, why does he have the nickname “Mr. Overtime”? This is why that is the case.
